Mrs. O. D. Bradford of Cochran, *
near Winters, organized the club
four years ago when boys interest-
ed couldn't find a man in the com-
munity to act as sponsor.
"We had to scrape for six mem-
bers to start,” Mrs. Bradford, a jol-
ly, dark-haired woman said.
“Even the county agent wasn’t
too enthusiastic over the idea He
had seen others start in and clubs
die, so he was afraid our might do
the same. I finally persuaded him
to let us try. The more others lost
interest, the harder I worked.”
She did her work well. The West
Texas club, in four years, has

Winters, winning 24 first places,
10 seconds, nine thirds, four"four-
ths and four fifths. They showed
two grand champions and two re-
serve champions.
Sales and prizes brought the.boys
an income of $5,762 for the. year.
"Mrs. Brad” as she is affection-
ately called by her friends .says
she isn’t the type to “just sit and
twiddle her thumbs.” Between ser-
ving as sponsor and helping her
h'usband in the store and filling
station which they own, she. finds
time to be president of a' sewing
club, to belong to the Parent
Teacher Association and the Band
Mother’s club, and to serve as Red
Cross chairman in her community.
She cans a large supply of fniits
and vegetables each year. She is
in her thirties.
She is the former Lydia Wright
of Weatherford. She attended high
school there and worked for her
father, who owned a grocery-and
cafe business. In the early SO’s’she
came to Winters to visit a Sister
and in 1934 she was married D.
D. Bradford here.
“My ambition has always been
eventually to live on a fa^m and
ranch, but now Obie Dee, Brad,
and I put into practice on our three
acres what we learn in club meet-
ings.”
Obie Dee, the Bradford’s 13
year old son, made an enviable
record last year with his turkeys,
winning a first place at the state
fair. Capons, hogs, and calves win-
ning places in various shows swel-

“Trud” said the strike of 24,000
Australian miners is among the
larger strikes of recent weeks. "It

The newspaper "Trud” said that
the increasing wave of strikes in
the captialist world testifies to
the militant activity of the work-
ing class. "A characteristic fea-
ture of many o( the strikes,” said
th epaper, "is not only their bit-
terness and stubborness but also
the spirit of brotherlyinternational
solidarity by which they are per-

t spots of Bourbon street were

feed the endless tburist trade. It

that romething new.
Today, there are four top Dixie-
Led crews blasting out nightly
on Bourbon street. Listing them
off as you walk from Canal street
down Bourbon, there is Phil Zit-
to and his band at the El Moracco:
Oscar "Pap” Clestin at the Pad-
dock Lounge; Sharkey Bonano at
the Famous Door; and Leon Prima
(brother of fam^d trumpter Louis
Prima), at the Prima’s 500 Club.
All of these bands are Grade-A
I but the Sharkey Bonano group is
generally rated- the best band or
the street, in New Orleans, or in
the south.
Banano, a Polish showman and
former big timer on 52nd street
back in the mid-thirties, has
rounded up the best men in New
Orleans and currently has a band
that has New Orleans at its feet.
Bonano boasts the following ex-
perts; Monk Haezl, drums and
Mellophone; Santo Pecora, trom-
bone; Raymond Burke, clarinet;
Chink Martin, bass, and Jeff Rid-
ick, piano and vocals. Bonano
plays the trumpet and sings.
Other standout musicians in the
other Dixieland bands include
young Joe Gerard, trumpeter with
Phil Zito arid Roy Zimmerman,
piano with the same band. Syd-
ney De Villa, clarinet and alto
with Leon Prima, is generally con-
sidered one of the best ill-round
musicians . in New Orleans.
While the Dixieland crews on
Bourbon street have declared a
“cold war” on Bebop, a fine Bebop
unit at the Three Deuces blasts
bop defiance down the swing lane
of New Orleans each night. The
Deuces bop Unit is known as the
Buddy Charles Combo, and fea-
ture bass, piano, drums, tenor
sax, and Charles and guitar. They
play fine beb^p jazz.
Dixielandei^s and Beboppers are
very serious about their rivalries.
The Dixielanders, who play the
simple, two-beat rhythms first
made famous in New Orleans
around the turn of this century,
cannot stomach the wild, often
discordant musical gyrations of the
Bebop cult.
In turn, Beboppers consider
Dixieland musicians, as just
"squares who can’t cut Bebop.”
Most New Orleans Dixieland
musicians believe, or at least hope,
their (current jazz revival will
everflually sweep bop into obliv-
